Despite being founded in 1997, the Cape Town Stormers were not promoted to Super Rugby competition until 1998, where they finished in a respectable ninth position. The 1999 season saw the Stormers knocked out by the Otago Highlanders in the semi-final, despite the South African side finishing the regular season in second position. The Stormers experienced a particularly lean period between 2004 and 2010, reaching the finals only once, but returned with a vengeance in 2011, finishing first in the South African conference with a dominant 12-4 record before falling to the Reds in the semi finals.

South African rugby needs a makeover

Let me start off by saying I am no expert, but then again you don’t need to be an expert to see what is wrong with South African rugby. South African rugby teams, bar the Cheetahs and to some extent the Sharks, play the same style of rugby we have been playing for the last [...]

Right now the top South African side has only the fifth best points total in the competition. The fourth placed Stormers are only four points behind the leading [...]
South African conference: six of one, half a dozen of the other
by biltongbek, 24 Apr 2013
Following the South African conference in 2013 is akin to watching a chameleon in a Smarties box. The unpredictability, the inconsistent teams performances and injuries have made it the most difficult conference to predict this season. Yet I am going to try and make sense of it all. Currently the conference looks like this (ignoring [...]
Stormers and Highlanders: two teams on hard times
by Elisha Pearce, 8 Apr 2013
